About Leola
Leola is a feminine name of Latin and German origins. It can be a variant of Leola, meaning 'lioness,' derived from 'leo' (lion), or an elaboration of Leah or Lee. It was most popular in the United States during the early 20th century, peaking between 1890-1920 when it ranked in the top 300 names. More recently, fewer than 20 baby girls were named Leola in the US, though a trend for lion-themed names may raise its profile..
Leola is also given to boys.
